Link? I appreciate the good news. The PEDs suspension of that one tweener/gadget guy they signed (pronounced Hoyt) has given me a baseline level of worry about the d-line. (That other bigger tackle fella got suspended too (I have no idea how to spell or say his name), but I'm beginning to wonder whether he'd even make the 53-man roster.)

Id like to see a line of Benson - McLeod - Doan for a bit.

It seems that our blue line unit has improved. The issue that overshadows everything else is the play of our goalies. Will UPL continue to flail, or will he play a calmer and more disciplined game with a better D in front of him? Will Lyons be a sufficient #2 or even #1 if UPL doesn't regain the promising form he had a couple of years ago. That's where my attention is going to be when the season starts. If that position isn't stabilized, the season will be sunk before we get to the halfway point. And then you are going to see an internal revolt by our best players who will start the "get me out of here" chorus that have been heard before. This is where I'm at. It's an unsettling situation to be in. But it is not a surprise that when the organization is rickety, the foundation is vulnerable. When your mentality is not based on getting better but rather of getting by, you end up always hovering around the fringes.

I love being married so much I did it twice

Kesselring??

95th percentile height 20th percentile weight If she were a guy, she'd be a Sabre. 😉 Good for him. Wish them well.

Umm. Maybe you're doing it wrong?

Nothing will incite uncontrollable rage like being married. Maybe this is the year Owen gets that ballyhooed mean streak that fans have been clamoring for.

If she isn’t standing on a box, their kids will be massive human beings.

Looks like Power received another partner this offseason

Trump surrounds himself with Epstein material.

So far Trump has told Putin 100 days to stop the war, 24 hours to stop the war, and now 50 days to stop the war. Now most of this was probably so Putin could try to control more of Ukraine but the last one is funny b.c it's not Trump getting angry that Putin stopped being friends with him. https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-pals-trump-russia-threat-160538732.html Everyone is laughing at the US, even Iran...

No... The team went on to say they think he will be ready for the start of training camp. Lets pump the breaks on the sky is falling.

Perhaps most of the GMs just think well, we aren't beating Florida yet anyway so why waste it this year when next year's FA crop is so much better.

And maybe I seem a bit confused Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged! Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

That's the trick, we are doubtful to get within 5mil of the cap ceiling so we can go 1 mil + 3mil in production/games played based incentives Plus you can convince Pegula of the possibility he doesn't hit all 3 incentives

McKenna And we won’t capitalize hell, we may be secretly in on it

Costs nothing but cap space. Lot of talk that he's made a deal with the Leafs, just waiting for another shoe to drop before they make it official.

For accuracy sake, Puckpedia has them at 13th in cap space but your point still stands. $7.3M is plenty of room to add a pretty good hockey player. ***** Separate from the Sabres, it's crazy how much cap space remains available around the league with no good free agents left to spend it on. 12 teams have $10M or more available. Six have $15M. The Ducks have $29M. The best remaining UFAs are guys like Roslovic and Olofsson. There's no point throwing an offer sheet out there for one of the restricted guys because everybody's got the space to match. It's a bizarre off-season after five years of dead cap. Plenty of room for hockey trades, it's just that GMS are so out of practice at those; they're used to sellers and buyers.

Ya I mean they are sitting on 7+ right now. Obv if they bring in a F it changes things beyond the Timmins extension but I’ll believe it when I see it The most dense transaction periods are through

After years of having $8MM+, getting under $5MM is progress. But personally do expect them to bring in at least 1 more F which would put them likely at ~2MM in cap space. Which IMHO IS acceptable. Don't fully trust Adams to be able to navigate getting down to where the Tampas and Vegases of the world live. And if they held the $2MM or so all season, they'd be able to bring in ~$5MM worth of ST salary on the books. What could a $5MM player done for them 3 seasons ago. Won't get on Adams case for having ~$5MM in space (realistically) right now because we're still 2-1/2 months away from puck drop. And there are still at least 2, if not 3 or more, realistic options of how they can spend that money on players that should make them better. Will it make them enough better? Wtf knows? Wouldn't have money on it but maybe, if we squint just right, maybe.

I don’t see the cap space as noticeably different this year. On track to have about 5 mil. They are top 10 in cap space now - completely unacceptable for a team 14 years out It’s bottom 10 spending teams that don’t make the playoffs

Would prefer him to Rust.
